The list of sites an employee visits throughout a day indirectly indicates how busy the employee is and how interested he is in the job. For example, job search sites or adult sites.
Moreover, visiting entertaining sites carries such hidden dangers as infecting the local area network with viruses, which may lead to data loss or traffic upsurge (sending spam by viruses or breaking passwords to other servers).
StaffCop allows you to collect statistics about sites users visit.
The administrative module allows you to view sites currently opened by the user. You can see the page title, its URL when it was open and how long it has been open for. You can use the context menu to close the site on the user's computer. To view the list of open sites, open the agent and select the "Websites" tab. To refresh it, press F5 or select the "Refresh" item in the context menu.
Reports provide more detailed information about sites the user visited. In parciular, you can see the list of domains (for example, www.youtube.com or www.facebook.com) where pages were opened. A click on a domain opens the list of pages visited on this domain.
Also, reports show the total time spent on pages and domains and also its distribution in percent.
Note: StaffCop can detect pages open in Internet Explorer, Mozilla, FireFox, Opera, which means in the overwhelming majority of existing browsers. The advantage of this method is that it does not depend on whether there is a proxy server installed on the system, on the port used to transfer data (some rare servers use some other port than standard port 80 to respond to requests), on the connection type (the page title will be correctly detected even for pages encrypted with HTTPS).
